A nightstand is a key piece of furniture in the bedroom, so even if you have a small space, it's worth finding a small nightstand to fit next to your bed. After all, you'll need somewhere to put your phone, a glass of water, and a lamp.
Just because you have to cut down on size doesn't mean you need to scale back on style. Regardless of your favorite interior design style, there's one pro tip that will elevate any bedroom. According to designer Kristin Marino of KozyKasa, your choice of color can make all the difference. "I like choosing a wood or finish that contrasts with the bed frame. This helps create depth and visual interest," Marino tells Hunker.
